1.48 Ct. Peridot from Brazil

This exquisite peridot from The Natural Gemstone Company is a transparent 1.48 carat emerald cut green peridot, measuring 8.00 by 5.98 by 3.76 millimeters. The emerald cut emphasizes clean lines and elegant symmetry, allowing the medium intense green color to present itself with calm, sophisticated brilliance. Graded eye clean at normal viewing distances, this gemstone displays exceptional clarity that is rare in peridots of this size, and the excellent polish brings a crisp finish to every facet. There is no enhancement of any kind, the stone is completely natural, and its origin from Brazil speaks to a long tradition of producing quality peridot specimens. For customers who want a natural, well cut, and immediately wearable gemstone, this peridot stands out for its honest presentation and refined appearance.

When you consider durability and daily wearability, several features make this peridot an excellent choice. Peridot rates approximately 6.5 to 7 on the Mohs hardness scale, which places it in a category that is robust enough for rings, pendants, and everyday jewelry when cared for properly. The emerald cut is particularly advantageous for daily wear, because its straight step facets and truncated corners reduce the risk of damaging sharp points, and the flat pavilion and crown structure concentrates the stone s strength under pressure. This gem is eye clean, so it will not show internal disruptions under normal wear that could serve as weak points, and the excellent polish improves surface resistance to abrasion. Compared with treated or heavily included emeralds, which often require delicate handling and routine maintenance, this Brazilian peridot offers a more forgiving everyday experience, especially when set in protective styles such as a bezel, low profile prong setting, or a halo that absorbs knocks and shields the girdle.

In comparison to other green gemstones on the market this piece delivers a compelling balance of value and natural appeal. Tsavorite garnet and chrome diopside can show exceptional brilliance and deeper hues, but they are often rarer and priced accordingly, making them less accessible for customers seeking a striking green gem at a sensible price. Emeralds can offer intense green, however they frequently have visible inclusions and are commonly oil treated to enhance appearance, which affects long term durability and resale value. Our peridot is unenhanced, transparent, and uniform in medium intense green, which means you receive a vivid, lively color without compromise. The emerald cut accentuates color and clarity rather than hiding them under excessive facet noise, so you get a clean, classic look that reads as sophisticated and intentional. From a investment in daily jewelry perspective, a natural, eye clean peridot with excellent polish and no enhancements represents superior long term value because it requires minimal special treatment while delivering a memorable aesthetic.

Practical advantages extend to how this gem performs once set and worn daily. The 8.00 by 5.98 by 3.76 millimeter dimensions and 1.48 carat weight are ideal for a solitaire ring, elegant drop earrings, or a chic pendant, giving designers flexibility to create pieces that are both secure and stylish. For everyday wear we recommend settings that protect the table and corners, such as a bezel or a six prong secure head that keeps the stone low against the finger, while allowing light to enter the step facets for a refined glow. Routine care involves avoiding harsh chemicals, extreme heat, and the kind of heavy impact associated with manual labor, but under normal daily conditions this peridot will retain its brightness and polish for many years. At The Natural Gemstone Company we stand behind the authenticity and craftsmanship of this gem, and we are confident that its combination of natural origin, eye clean clarity, excellent polish, and a durable emerald cut make it an outstanding choice for anyone seeking a beautiful green gemstone that is truly suited to everyday jewelry.
